Date of Release: Jan 15, 2010

Passengers are advised that additional security measures have been imposed by Transport Canada and the U.S. Transport Security Administration on flights from Canada to the United States and will remain in place until further notice.  Effective immediately, US bound passengers are not permitted to bring carry-on luggage into the cabin of the aircraft.  There are some exceptions to this ban - full details can be obtained at:

Additional searches of passengers travelling to the United States will also be conducted prior to boarding aircraft.

Passengers should arrive at the airport early and should expect some flight delays due to these new measures.
